I played CoD4 for another hour this morning before class, still on the freeze tag mod, and noticed that the quality of the game and what it's about is the same but only when the server remains active. When the server has less people on it the game tends to seem less appealing at times even though the gameplay is still the same in respects to game design and physics. I believe this can be attributed to some maps being so large that if you just run around the map never finding anyone, you tend to lose intrest faster. Obviously this isn't always true, since I have had rounds with only me and one other person, and sometimes the challenge of finding that one person can be quite entertaining.
I see this game as being very well designed and thought out, giving the player many options of games to partake in (stock games such as Team Match, Headquarters, Domination, Search and Destroy, and Sabatage) and if those don't suit him you can always create more (Freeze tag, Star wars mod, Zombie, etc.). This makes the game able to last longer since the capabilities are always increasing, instead of staying constant where you can get tired of them more quickly.

This night I played Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare for over 3 hours. Specifically I played a freeze tag mod on CoD4 known as g13ftag. Freeze tag mods require a different strategy than just the normal shoot first and ask questions later moto. What many new players fail to realize is that if you don't defrost when you have the chance, except when your player is in immediate danger, your team will end up losing because no one will be free to defrost you when you get frozen. However, if you defrost on your way to a certain area on the map, when you finally do get frozen, there is a good chance someone will be behind you able to defrost you, since you defrosted them. This game tends to flow very well, even though there is a good chance that you will spend a large portion of your time frozen, unable to move or respawn. But as long as you have other people talking with you trying to work to get you defrosted and win, it's worth the chance of being frozen. On the particular server I was on, they have their own system of points where at every levels, you get a new icon to display your rank. With this I am always striving to reach the next level, while still having fun all the same. What makes this game fun though is being able to actively talk through a mic with other people on your team, and while doing this you begin to get to know people and recognize their voice making the game more like an active community than anything.
Also, on this server they tend to run custom maps that other people have made, always making the game new and challenging as opposed to knowing that map so well (and other people knowing it as well) that all the defects are exploited and tends to ruin the game. Although the game doesn't have any emerging complexity, there is a learning curve since the people on the game typically have been playing it for awhile and will know what to do and be able to do it well as opposed to a new player. My partner and I actually both know of this game and it gave us the idea to make a top down shooter since we both knew we liked shooter games.
